Gravity feed top off help

So how do I connect this feed line to my water source?

Need some kind of mini bulkhead and push connect.
Would use a bucket to hold top off water.

John Quest makes a fitting thats treaded on 1 end 1/4 hose fitting on other. I have used 1 for years in a bucket. All I did was drill a hole slightly smaller that the threading, thread it in and silicone the crap out of it. You can get those fittings at Andrew Sheret.

I believe Rob means something like this from Home Depot
They also come in 90s

You might also consider a shut-off valve
They have them as well

I have that exact same setup also using gravity. Do you have PVC coming from your reservoir? Send a picture and I'll try to do the same.

If your asking me for a pic?? I don't have one. I have not created the top off yet! It's in the planning phase.
